Act of Valor (2012)
Better off watching an episode of the A-Team
1 July 2018
Had high hopes for this given the real SEAL dimension but it was not the SEALs who let this film down, nor was it the cameramen but the plot and direction.

It is nicely shot, good locations, albeit too many switches, and decent acting but the story was overkill and the constantly changing locations made it reminiscent of the the opening credits for The A-Team.

The voice-over was distracting given the lack of emotion in the voice and the good vs evil characters was comic book like.

Overall it came across like a cold war era propaganda film which I'm sure was not the intention as movie goers today are too savvy to fall for such attempts. I feel the filmmakers let the SEALs down and should have taken a leaf out of the Tears of The Sun playbook.
